Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco-Adventures
We had a great time!
Activity Date: 2021/11/25 | Posted on: 2021/11/27

Staff went above and beyond to enhance the experience for everyone involved. We came across two pods of whales and a pod of dolphins, and the staff used their marine biology experience to educate us on what we were seeing. The water was warm, safety was prioritized, there were multiple head-counts conducted by multiple staff members, and we were fed and entertained. Overall we couldn't've asked for more.

Would not miss Molokini Carter when coming to Maui. We had some changes with the pickup times but other than that this tour was truly memorable!

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry
Awesome experience.
Activity Date: 2021/11/11 | Posted on: 2021/11/17

This was a awesome experience. It turned out to be the highlight of my trip to Maui and I have been five times to Maui. Bruce showed me 80% of Lanai'i and obviously cared about the island and it's people. If I ever return to Maui, I will try to take this tour again. Thanks Bruce.

We went out and from the beginning we were hesitant. Adella helped us out in the water and gave us great instructions that eased our fears and we had one of the best times ever. From the time we left the harbor, until we returned it was fun, we had a great time!

Fun experience! Windy on the day we went so we couldn’t go to the crater. Boat is clean. Crew friendly, professional, organized and helpful; prepared us for everything and kept on schedule. The food was alright, kept us fed and hydrated for all the snorkeling.

Tons of fish in west Maui where we stopped. Two spots. We even went to a turtle cleaning station! Saw a honu or two.

We had a great time. Maybe next time we can check out the crater :)

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry
Great off-roading tour through Lanai
Activity Date: 2021/09/29 | Posted on: 2021/10/13

Isaac was a great tour guide who was very conversational and interested in learning about us. He also has a lot of knowledge about Lanai and told us fun facts about each stop. Overall, he was a friendly person and deserves praise for making the experience worth it even though we had a long day and were really tired from the morning drive to Lahaina from Kihei to catch the ferry. Thank you Isaac!

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides
On time and picturesque trip to Lanai Island
Activity Date: 2021/09/18 | Posted on: 2021/10/11

The ferry left on time, and the ride provided a tranquil and picturesque view of the ocean and both islands. My only issue with the experience was the third party parking cost we incurred. Which resulted from the endorsement given from your business that wound up costing us $42 for 6 hours. There was plenty of parking elsewhere but we followed your recommendation and instructions provided in our packet. This was an additional 35% surcharge or cost we did not anticipate.

Alii Kai Molokini Snorkel Cruise - Luxury All-Inclusive Catamaran with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar
Best Day in Maui
Activity Date: 2021/10/03 | Posted on: 2021/10/05

The crew of Alii Nui was incredible! They treated us like royalty while aboard their vessel. From the delicious breakfast and lunch with open bar, to the sunscreen and fresh towels, to the cooling eucalyptus towel and sunglass cleaner upon arrival back to port, they thought of every detail. I’ve never seen a crew work so hard as a team and make it look effortless, all with a smile and servant attitude and total engagement. Truly a pleasure meeting each of you. And the snorkeling was absolutely beautiful! We saw turtles and beautiful fish of all kinds. Captain Trent was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to go to see the beauty but avoid the crowds. And Savannah, thank you for capturing the underwater photos of us that we wouldn’t have been able to get. Thank you so much for the amazing day! I highly recommend this excursion!!

We had such a great time! The slide at the end was a fun surprise. We saw so many bright and colorful fish too. It served as a great memory for us. The crew was really hospitable and cool too. Everyone was really laid back yet took the right precautions to make sure everyone was safe. Such a great Maui experience. We highly recommend!

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco-Adventures
The best snorkel adventure we’ve been on!
Activity Date: 2021/09/05 | Posted on: 2021/09/22

Let me start by saying that this entire experience was fantastic. Captain Chris was delightful, his crew was kind and informative and the boat itself was top notch. We were lucky enough to see plenty of tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and three different sea turtles. We felt safe the entire voyage and it was the perfect amount of time on the boat and snorkeling for the average tourist. Would absolutely recommend! Plus it’s for a good cause, what more can you want!

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock
Fantastical!!
Activity Date: 2021/09/10 | Posted on: 2021/09/12

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. The food was plenty and very well done. The lunch especially made you feel like you were royalty. The crew served everything. There was plenty to go around. They were all like a well oiled machine working in harmony to get everyone taken care of. The snorkeling was really nice because it wasn't crowded. We had the whole cove to ourselves. The hike was just right. The ride back was a wild one thanks to the wind. They had even supplied supplies at lunch like ginger and dramamine for sea sickness. I give them 5 stars. Best tour I have ever been on. Thanks to you all.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Must do activity with these guys..!!
Activity Date: 2021/09/06 | Posted on: 2021/09/09

A first-time snorkeler with basic swimming experience, they taught us really well how to do it right from basics & also kept an eye to guide us in the ocean. Only regret is they should allow to hold the rope anchored for people who panic in the vast ocean, coz it takes 5-10 minutes for people with no swimming background to get familiar with the unpredictable ocean. My wife was not allowed to touch the rope & she couldn't enjoy snorkeling with us for the rest of the trip. Good lunch & breakfast. Overall they do good if you know a bit. Great locations..unfortunately no turtles.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry
Lanai Guided Tour
Activity Date: 2021/08/31 | Posted on: 2021/09/06

Awesome tour with Bruce! He provided many interesting facts and information about the island. We saw areas of the island that we would have missed if we were on our own. He offered us the opportunity to spend extra time at the cat sanctuary with over 600 cats when we told him we liked cats, such an awesome place. I mentioned we hadn’t seen many turtles (honu) and he took us to a beach that had about 6 right along the shore. Though not guaranteed, we were able to see Maui, Molokai, Oahu, Big Island of Hawaii, Molokini and Kahoolawe from Lanai (per Bruce he’s only seen Oahu a few times from Lanai).
Definitely would recommend this tour!

We had a great experience with Trilogy to Lanai. The captain and crew were welcoming and accommodating from the first moment to the very end. We were cared for and serviced for all beverages (coffee, juice, water, cocktails, you name it!) from morning until the last moment as well as with all of our meals, plus some surprise snacks. For being a group excursion, we were pleasantly surprised with how fun and completely relaxing this day was! We only wish it could have been longer… but next time, we’ll sign up for that. I highly recommend!

Many visitors to Maui, whether they are aware of it or not, will have made a stop at Maalaea since a significant number of the island's whale watching and snorkeling cruises to Molokini Crater depart from Maalaea Harbor. The area is also well known for the Maui Ocean Center, often called The Aquarium of Hawaii and a top destination for families seeking a fun way to engage with sea life during their trip.
